The Story of My Baldness

The treatment of the title reminds me too much of Barbara Kruger. But I do love the description of the author, from Amazon:

"Van Der Jagt is a pseudonym; the book's real author is Arnon Grunberg, a prolific young Dutch author whose talent is matched—or possibly exceeded—by his desire to provoke the Dutch literary establishment. Submitted under the false name, the book won the Anton Wachter prize for a debut novel; the honor was revoked when it was discovered that Grunberg, who won the same prize for his bestseller Blue Mondays, was the author."

Stick it to the man!

He can stick this cover. It's dreadful.
